ROGUE-class Mjolnir, also designated as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/A variant, is a MJOLNIR armor variant originally designed by Vestol Corporation, with the GEN2 version being manufactured by Hannibal Weapon Systems.[3][4] It is intended primarily for use in solo operations, particularly those that take place over extended periods of time.[5]

GEN1 Information[edit]
Overview[edit]
Designed for lone operators, Rogue provided enhanced network connectivity and sequentially delineated intelligence packs; critical for soldiers operating in the field alone. [1]
Development history[edit]
The Rogue armor was the first of many "privatized" variants, developed as the UNSC called upon private industries to manufacture classified war material after the fall of the Outer Colonies.[3] The Rogue in particular was created and manufactured by the Vestol Corporation, then subsequently tested at the Vestol Simulation Lab.[1]
Usage[edit]
The 'Rogue' Armor saw limited use during the Human-Covenant War, despite reports indicating its exceptional performance.[1]
Mark VI Rogue.
GEN2 information[edit]
Overview[edit]
The helmet has a extensively increased field of view from the GEN1 variant. The multi-plate, heavy angled layout offers single operators improved intel. The helmet also has a modular U6-9 rebreathers set high on the jaw for protection.[2] Unknown to most, ROGUE suits contain hardware cutouts that can remove or ignore several layers of safety interlocks and threat management limiters in the Mjolnir BIOS.[5]
The chest has a sub-collar, under-locking shield emitter.[2]
Development history[edit]
After Tribute was razed in 2552, Hannibal Weapon Systems took over production of the armor in 2555 with permission from the UNSC Ordnance Commission. It was tested at the WG/Facility 93-00/Kotka.[6] Early tests of the armor was curious and unorthodox, and when the armor was finally completed it was widely accepted as superior to the original. [2]
Usage[edit]
In War Games free-for-all modes, Rogue is one of the most used variants due to its lack of reliance on team standards,[2]
ROGUE operators tend to be lone wolves, stalking the outskirts of the battlefield to cull enemy forces of the weak, the inattentive, and the incautious.[5]
